Eversolo DAC-Z10 DAC & Preamplifier

Description

Pure Digital-to-Analog Excellence

The Eversolo DAC-Z10 transforms your digital music library into pristine analog sound through Eversolo’s Fully Isolated Architecture. By completely separating digital and analog circuits, it eliminates interference and preserves absolute signal integrity. Dual AK4191 + AK4499 DAC pairs independently process left and right channels, while a fully balanced preamplifier with dual-channel R2R volume control delivers exceptional dynamic range and extremely low distortion. Designed for discerning audiophiles, the DAC-Z10 reveals the authentic character and finest nuances of every recording with elegance and precision.

A Next-Generation Flagship DAC

Praised as a next-gen flagship Hi-Fi DAC, the DAC-Z10 allows music to unfold in its purest form. From digital decoding to analog output, every stage is engineered to preserve musical truth. Its dual-mono AKM flagship DAC configuration works alongside an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) and femtosecond-grade PLL system, forming an ultra-stable, low-jitter clock architecture that ensures flawless timing and natural musical flow.

Fully Isolated DAC Architecture

Built on Eversolo’s Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA), the DAC-Z10 completely separates digital and analog domains to minimize noise and crosstalk. Two independent AK4191 + AK4499 DAC modules decode left and right channels individually, unlocking superior DNR and lower THD+N. Combined with a fully balanced analog signal path, this design maximizes resolution, depth, and tonal richness.

Fully Balanced Preamplifier Design

The high-performance fully balanced preamplifier supports both XLR and RCA analog inputs with up to +10dB gain. Paired with a precision R2R analog volume control network, it achieves ultra-low noise and distortion, significantly enhancing dynamic range and signal purity. Every micro-detail is preserved with clarity, realism, and emotional accuracy.

Three Independent Linear Power Supplies

Three custom toroidal transformers independently power the left channel, right channel, and system circuitry. This design maintains ultra-low noise levels down to 42 μV while eliminating mutual interference between circuits. Each channel receives clean, stable voltage support, resulting in a more transparent, stable, and finely detailed soundstage.

Dual Decoding Modules with Velvet Sound™

With dual independent AK4191 + AK4499 DAC modules and AKM’s Velvet Sound™ technology, the DAC-Z10 achieves a perfect balance between analytical precision and musical warmth. The fully balanced architecture ensures natural tonal density while maintaining exceptional resolution and control.

Precision R2R Volume Control

A carefully implemented R2R resistor array preserves the original signal at every volume level. From whisper-quiet listening to high-energy playback, the signal remains intact, delivering accurate dynamics, smooth transitions, and uncompromised musical detail.

OCXO & Phase-Locked Loop Technology

Accurate timing is the foundation of high-resolution audio. The DAC-Z10 integrates an OCXO temperature-controlled crystal oscillator with PLL correction technology to reconstruct clock signals with extreme precision. This ensures every transient, harmonic, and spatial cue is reproduced exactly as intended.

External Clock Support

For advanced systems, the DAC-Z10 supports external high-precision clocks, further enhancing timing accuracy and jitter control. This allows audiophiles to push clock stability to the highest level for ultimate sonic refinement.

FPGA-Optimized Signal Processing

A built-in FPGA reshapes IIS data and refines clock signals before DAC conversion. Every digital signal is optimized to its purest form, resulting in audibly cleaner, more natural sound with improved depth and coherence.

Advanced Digital Input Architecture

The DAC-Z10 features an extensive range of fully isolated digital inputs, including 8-mode IIS supporting PCM 768 kHz/32-bit and DSD512 Native, isolated USB audio input, isolated AES/EBU, dual optical, and dual coaxial inputs. Each input is designed to block electrical interference, ensuring pristine signal transmission regardless of source.

Multi-Core USB Audio Processing

A powerful multi-core USB audio processor provides high bandwidth and fast processing, ensuring lossless transmission of high-resolution audio formats. USB supports DSD512 Native and PCM 768 kHz/32-bit, while optical and coaxial inputs support PCM 192 kHz/24-bit and DSD64 DoP.

HDMI ARC & System Integration

With HDMI ARC and eARC support, the DAC-Z10 integrates seamlessly into home theater systems, delivering cinematic sound quality alongside reference-grade music playback. TRIGGER IN & OUT ports enable synchronized power control across connected components.

Dedicated Headphone Amplifier Module

The built-in 6.35 mm headphone amplifier automatically detects impedance and adjusts gain accordingly. With high, medium, and low gain modes, it delivers powerful, controlled, and detailed headphone performance across a wide range of headphone types.

High-Quality Bluetooth Connectivity

Equipped with a Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module, the DAC-Z10 delivers near-wired wireless sound quality, making high-fidelity streaming effortless from mobile devices without compromising musical detail.

Aviation-Grade Aluminum Craftsmanship

The chassis is precision-crafted from aviation-grade aluminum, combining rigidity, refined texture, and elegant aesthetics. The solid construction minimizes vibration and electromagnetic interference while presenting a clean, modern visual presence.

Intuitive Touchscreen Control & Visual Experience

An 8.8-inch IPS touchscreen offers smooth, intuitive control over inputs, volume, and playback information. Vintage VU meters and dynamic spectrum displays provide a captivating visual representation of music, turning every listening session into both a sonic and visual experience.

Designed for Uncompromising Audiophiles

The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is not just a digital-to-analog converter it is a statement of purity, precision, and engineering mastery. Every design choice is focused on one goal: revealing the truest, most emotionally engaging form of your music.
